Blue Jean Baby

I was never the biggest fan of denim on denim. Well, that is, I was never the biggest fan of denim on denim before I bought this jacket and just threw it on over this outfit before my shoot. I had my hair up in a ponytail with all my makeup on from a previous video shoot and it felt very “model-off-duty.” I actually had my hair and makeup done by girls in the fashion club, so for those of you who’ve been complimenting my makeup lately, I’ll pass on the compliments. The lip color I’m wearing is Love Bite from Kylie Cosmetics for those of you who’ve been asking about that too.

This jacket is the same one you’ve been seeing in a lot of my posts as well too. It’s the infamous oversized jacket from Nordstrom Rack, made in the same purchase with my equally infamous over-the-knee boots. Both of them are the perfect fall staples. My watch is from Daniel Wellington and I’ve hardly taken it off since I’ve gotten it. I got it with the matching DW cuff on their website, which they are currently offering at 10% off a bundle of both items. You can get an additional 15% off with the code WANDERINGBRUNETTE.

Now, I don’t usually wear my glasses for photoshoots, but I like how they look in this one. Just in case you’re wondering, I’m not blind, but I do need these babies for the back of the classroom and driving at night. Plus, my boyfriend says they make me look smart.

You’ll definitely be seeing more of this jacket, as you can tell. As for the small stain you see on the left leg of my pants, I finally washed it out and it’s red wine. What does that say about me?

It does say that I’m probably not quite ready for finals. I’ve been working and studying non-stop: the life of a college senior. One more semester left and then a full year for my Masters of Accounting. Doesn’t that sound fun? In all honesty, I’m pretty excited – just two finals holding me back from my last undergraduate semester!

Well, best of luck to you other collegiates! Finals are upon us! Winter break is coming.

    Denim on denim looks amazing on you! I was never a huge fan of it either haha, it always seems to look better on other people than on myself!

    I got a denim jacket from Madewell not too long ago, and I didn’t realize what a staple it would become for me! The denim look is so classic. Love your look here!

    I am a big fan of denim on denim because I love my jean jacket. I really like pairing my white jean jacket with blue jeans or my blue jacket with white jeans.

    I think denim on denim has TOTALLY become so much more acceptable than it once was! I used to think it was a big no-no, but I totally rocked it to a concert a few weeks ago, and I loved it!

    You look stunning!!! I love the blue jean look!
